Everything that's in the steam post


Opting in
Until there is content parity with the Unreal Engine 4 release, the UE4 Preview will be available via a Beta Branch on Steam, to access this, right click on the game in your library -> properties -> betas -> click UE5. You're in!


Expectations & Pre-Alpha
We know there is a lot of excitement about this move, but please remember that this is essentially a brand new game. There will be bugs, probably a lot of bugs, and issues. Little content has been ported across from Unreal Engine 4, so whilst it'll expand quickly, the world is obviously lacking depth in comparison to the existing builds.

Please help by reporting major performance issues, along with hardware specs and graphics settings, as well as show-stopping bugs. At this stage we don't need reports of floating models etc, as we know well that there will be lots of these and we're not onto solely cosmetic fixes for a while.

Whilst we finalise our new traversal system climbing has been entirely disabled. This decision wasn't taken lightly, but a half-implemented system had the potential to cause more harm than it was worth. More ways to navigate the world will return in a future update.

Once the disabled features are reenabled we will consider this version of the game as the Alpha Build of Carnal Instinct.



Known Issues
This build has some systems, like magic, gated simply by the point in the story where the game opens. However some mechanics, such as setting romance paths and the mess/cleaning system, have been temporarily disabled for technical reasons. These will be restored in the next couple of updates once teething issues have been ironed out.



Additional Known Issues:

  • Controller support is still not available in all menus (we would recommend you use a Steam Controller profile for a better experience)
  • The Aadi does not like water and will die if the water is too deep
  • Some Video Settings do not currently save, we believe this is a UE5 bug on our version, we're upgrading after this update which should fix it! If not, we'll do an update with a manual fix
  • Some video settings require you to reload the map
  • Sails Ahoy! The boats are currently very work in progress and you cannot get on while swimming and the paddle is missing.
  • Last minute we have disabled opening/closing the map via the M Key due to a few scenarios where the player could get soft-locked, so you have to open the Map via the Inventory.
  • Sometimes after save/loads, chests & vendors will have 2x the amount of loot
  • We have done a huge number of bug fixes in the last month but I'm sure many will slip through the cracks, please report them in Steam Discussions or our Discord, this is a Preview and a Pre-Alpha after all!



More Music
We have new menu and in-game music, as well as raunchy limericks and bawdy ballad's by our boisterous bard, Nenu.

Pregnancy
Pregnancy content is not for everyone, so it's disabled by default. You will have to visit the virility and fertility shrines on Tal-Senet to activate this feature.


Feed Pakhet the almost-tame Mau
Damaris' tamed Mau, "She Who Scratches" doesn't take kindly to attempts to pet her, she will however devour food when offered. This is an important feature. It deserves this paragraph. I will die on this hill.


ACT 1: Traveller in and Antique Land
This build represents the very beginning of act one, you find yourself on the shores of Sabu and begin your journey. Soon you'll share the lands with Drakes, Sphynx, and all manner of exotic creatures... for now though you'll need to shed your mundane form and learn to fend for yourself in the fallen lands of Tal-Senet and Mehden Island.




What's Next?
We never stop and we've got big plans for the next updates, we're currently working on:
  • DSS 2.0
  • Jiggly Butts
  • Traversal and Interaction Systems
  • Caves
  • New Quests & Boss Expansion to Shipwrecked Anubites

what is with games having terrible voiceovers that contribute nothing other than telling you what you're looking at or doing. oh boy, i can't wait to hear my character tell me there's a nice tree or another enemy directly in front of my eyes

It's not bad, doesn't seem to have much to do though & both the performance as well as the controls are kinda wonky. Not sure how much there is in regards to sex scenes but going by the map it seems as if there aren't that many? (If they are truly all marked there)
Also there is a character relatively at the start that has dialogue options going nowhere, and it being the option to kiss them after an okayish sorta emotional moment already makes me wonder if there is much of a point to continue playing rn.
The information that this version apparently has less content than the UE4 version (which I assume won't get developed any further) is a bit of an eye-roll moment in my opinion. Didn't run into any gamebreaking bugs personally (I think, there is a quest that didn't finish, again 1 of the very first quests) and the game looks pretty for sure. I do like the mechanic of basically unlocking new forms for the protagonist and then customizing them a little, especially since the cosmetic changes to the forms don't have to be farmed for as of yet. I like the voice-acting quite a bit so far, but the lines sometimes cut out strangely.
This game does seem to have a lot of potential but at the same time it has been in development for quite a bit and it feels as if so far development hasn't really gone anywhere. I truly hope that the change to UE5 somehow means things start to really move forward, but I'm not sure if there would even be any correlation between those things necessarily. :oops:

Ok from my understanding UE5 is suppose to be the start of your adventure where UE4 was somewhere in the Middle so the amount of quest will most likely be fewer but so far I like it. The one thing that brings this down for me is my Game seems a bit choppy does anyone know if i'm missing something to download?

There's finally actual pregnancy on this?

Oh yeah I did like it as well, not too much I've seen yet but generally speaking not bad. Voice acting has been my personal highlight, aside from the overall visual quality. So I should either wait for the U5 version to catch up (and hope they can just transfer the old stuff to the new version) or take a look at the U4 version?

Game was choppy for me too I feel like, it wasn't unbearable but the whole thing feels a bit rough around the edges for sure.

So in the current UE5 build there are only 3 scenes, all repeatable and all with the same NPCs. Hopefully updates come out quickly but I'm not holding my breath. VA work is nice but I'd rather it be handled later, just for the sake of getting playable content out sooner.

I enjoyed this new build a lot more than I thought I would. Didn't have many expectations but I'm happy with it. Obviously very rough in most areas, but considering this is like the first alpha of the engine switch, not bad at all. Feeling pretty hopeful about the future of this

while what got released feels very minimal, I do know its because we are now getting to see the start of the journey, lets hope they are able to really pick up some momentum and start to flesh the game out, hopefully they are able to salvage some of the stuff from the UE4 versions, at least maybe some of the bones of it so that when we get to that part of the game its quicker for them to dev. I haven't seen too many of the sex scenes but its not too bad so far. Although I do hope we get the option to return the sword back to the lady at the Raging Lioness since from it's description I feel like it should go back to her as a heirloom
